Chapter 74

Dylan's P.O.V

"I can't believe Jaxton would go see that woman that gave birth to him after we told him not to." I said as I bit my nails nervously, I wanted to tell Raven to drive faster so we'd get there on time but I didn't want to pressure her again.

"You mean his mother?" Raven asked as she drove to Jaxton's house.

"Yes, her."

She shrugged. "Maybe cause she's his mother."

"Who clearly abandoned him cause she didn't care and then when she saw he was having a better life and being taken care of, she comes back with her dark magic!" I grained angrily. "I just wanna snap her n-" I was interrupted by my cell phone which was ringing so loud. I sighed and answered it once I saw the caller. "Jon."

"GWEN SAID YES!!" He screamed.

I pulled the phone away from my ear once he screamed and placed it back when I felt he had stopped.

"Tell me something new."

"She said you spoke to her! Oh God, did you threaten her? You didn't threaten to bury her alive, did you?"

"What? No. I didn't, I just spoke to her and let her know that the whole you and Raven thing was just made up." I shrugged.

Raven frowned and looked away from the road and at me. "Wait what?"

"Eyes on the road." I said to her.

"Oh, thank you so much Dylan. I owe you a lot."

"You keep saying that and yes, you do owe me."

"Shit."

I chuckled softly.

"Where are you guys?"

"We are on our way to Jaxton's house."

"W-Why? What happened?"

"Jaxton's there," I sighed. "Apparently he's been seeing his mother for a while and we didn't know about it."

"Oh, do you want me there?"

"No, don't worry. We can handle it. I can handle it."

"Okay, be careful. Don't fight with him."

"I will try."

"Give me a feedback later, okay?"

I nodded. "I will. Bye." I said and hanged up, signing afterwards.

"What's up?"

"I just hope he's okay and she's not making him do what he doesn't want to do because I know she can be a manipulative witch, and honestly I know she is his mother and I understand that, but I cannot help but worry. Remember the whole Vaughn thing and how his mother didn't even care or come see him in the hospital? He was heartbroken, and I don't want him to feel like the problem is him cause it is not."

"If she's that bad, I'll just beat the shit out of her. If you haven't realized it yet, I can't go to jail." She smirked.

I gave a little smile. "Um, can you....drive a little faster?"

She rolled her eyes. "I know you've been dying to ask." She said and drove faster than she did.

***

Raven parked opposite the house, we just sat in the car looking at the house. Flashes of everything that happened weeks ago came back into my head and I had to shut my eyes and try to push them away. I looked at the front yard and could still see the ambulance and my broken bones.

"Hey," I felt a hand on mine. I drew a deep breath and looked at Raven. "You okay?"

I nodded and faked a smile. "Yeah, I am." I said and got out of the car.

"This house still gives me the creeps." Raven said as we made our way towards the house.

"You have no idea," I muttered to her as we got to the door.

I was about to knock when I saw Vaughn in my head pushing me around and the time he hit me at the back of my head and almost gave me a concussion.

"Hey, what's going on?" Raven asked, concern in her voice.

"I actually thought I was over this bullshit but coming here just...brings back all those awful memories." I admitted.

"I get how you feel. I can still see you on that stretcher, scared out of my mind. If I had the chance, I'd slap Vaughn again."

I chuckled. "Yeah," I nodded. "I wonder how Jax can still come here, I mean if I can't get over it then...how can he?"

"Cause it's his home?" Question.

I swallowed and knocked on the door severally.

"espera Jesús, estoy llegando." A female voice yelled and I instantly knew whom it was even though I didn't understand a word she said.

The door opened and the same short woman came into view, she had a smile on her face and her hair was probably packed into a bun. Her smile faded and her eyes widen once she saw me, she quickly tried to hide the fact that she was shocked and scared that we were here. She was trying to hide him.

"Um, w-what are you doing here?"

"Where's Jaxton?" I went straight to the voice.

"W-What? Jaxton's not here. You have him."

"Quit the act, madam. We know for a fact that our friend is here so call him out." Raven said firmly.

"I'm telling the truth, Jaxton isn't-"

I didn't let her finish, I pushed her out of the way with my shoulder and walked right in, Raven followed and didn't even utter a word to her.

"No, I didn't ask you to come in!" She yelled as she closed her door and tried to rush to us.

"Mama, who is it?" A familiar voice asked and rushed out of one of the rooms but quickly stopped once he saw us. "D-Dylan." He called softly and gulped.

"Oh wow, she's not even torturing him which means he does want to be here." Raven said dryly.

I just stared at Jaxton, he had a mix of emotions on his face. "I don't see your study partner here."

"Dylan, I can explain. This is not how I wanted any of you to find out about this." He nervously said.

I didn't even need to hear what he was saying, I walked over to him and held his hand. "We're leaving." I said icily and began dragging him along with me.

"W-Wait, stop!"

I didn't listen, and as we got to the door he pulled his hand away harshly and took a couple of steps back. I frowned at him. "Jaxton! We're leaving now! I'm not letting you stay here with her, not after everything she has put you through. What if she is only back because she wants something? Please, let us leave."

"No! I'm here to see my mother and sister, and I'm gonna do just that!"

I knitted my brows. "So, i guess this is where you and Zach comes to study, huh?"

He gulped.

"Huh?" Raven asked.

"I'll explain later." I said to her, not taking my eyes off Jaxton. I was mad at him, I understand that he wanted to see his mother but she didn't make any effort to see him. "Jaxton, listen, I know you miss her, but have you really thought this through? Because parents can be fucking manipulative. I know you feel like she does care but if she did want to make it right, she would have come to our home to get you, so we are leaving."

"He said he's not going anywhere." The devil cut in, Raven turned to her and snapped at her before I could.

"No one's talking to you Missy, so don't fucking interfere, and go back to what you always do; ignore the shit out of your son.  And you might as well just do the same to us right now cause you don't even matter and we don't care cause we've cleared you out of existence."

"Raven!" Jaxton snarled. "What are you doing? Don't talk to my mother like that."

I blinked, Raven's brows knitted and so did mine. "Are you kidding me right now?" She stared at him in confusion. "You're siding with her? I thought you always said your mom was a bitch!" She folded her arms and looked at his mother. "He did say that for real cause you're one."

"Don't disrespect my mother, Raven. If you wanna talk to me then we'll talk, I will not take any form of disrespect."

"Jaxton! You need to listen to us because right now you are making it seem like we are the enemies but we are fucking not." Raven said.

"I know, I j-just. Guys, let me explain okay." He sighed

I shrugged. "Fine. It better be a good one."

"Dylan, she's...she's my mother, okay? And I cannot abandon her, she's trying now."

I stared at him blankly. "I said it better be a good one but i see you clearly can't come up with any."

A little girl came out of one of the rooms holding a pink colored elephant, she really did look like Jaxton and had long brown hair as well. "What's going on?" Her voice was sweet and innocent, definitely his sister.

The living room was silent all of a sudden, once she entered, I'm pretty sure we all thought the same thing, no one wanted to argue and yell in front of an eleven year old?

"Uh, miya please do go inside." Ms. Olson said to the girl, she looked at me and I flashed her a smile.

"Hi."

"Hi." She waved, and went back inside.

"We will not argue here! Go home and when I return we'll talk."  Jaxton said to Raven and I.

"Jaxton. I love you, and I love you enough not to leave you with her."

He shook his head. "I promise I'll explain everything to you at home, just go." He said softly.

"I'm not leaving you here with this sorceress. Jaxton, she didn't come to see you at all after all the shit that happened to you! Not once! She appeared months later and she wasn't even abducted! What is it? Is she threatening you? Did she blackmail you to come back here? You can tell us."

"Hey, you better watch that mouth of yours. I'll slap you this time and your mother won't even be able to save you this time." His mother said angrily.

I scoffed and turned to her. "Oh you know nothing. My mother was actually saving you from me and since she's not here, if you try to interfere one more time or say something stupid like you've been doing. God so help you, I will send you to the underworld before you could even call the Lord's name and I mean it."

"This. Is. My house. You won't speak to me that way!" She glared.

"Oh, I will speak to you the way I want." I snarled. "You wanna know why? Because in this same house a lot of things happened that cause your son some trauma. Your son almost got raped! Here!! In this same house. suffered a concussion! And when you got the news that your son had had something like this happen to him, where were you? Hmm? Absent."

"I...I didn't know."

I shook my head. "No. As a matter of fact, you did." I said with a smile. "My mother left you text messages, called you, the police did, but you didn't wanna show up because you were busy doing something else, right?" I asked and she gulped in response.

"We all stuck together and got over that trauma together. Was whatever you were doing more important than your son who almost got raped or was your appointment better than his life? HIS FUCKING LIFE? Cause if no one told you about what happened that night, then I'm gonna tell you. We almost got killed." I smiled at her. "So, don't you come claiming the boy you abandoned and asking for forgiveness when we tried so much to get you to be here for your son. You had the chance to make things right and you didn't! Do you even love him?"

"Dylan!" Jaxton scolded. "Leave it."

"You see, that is not something a mother would do, y'know? You are not a mother! Because you shot out a baby out of your vagina, does not make you a mother. You are a terrible person, a fucking screw up and if you haven't heard that before, I would gladly be your notification bell to let you know that."

Mrs. Olson stared at me with guilt in her eyes, eyes red like she was holding back tears and soon those tears fell from them, but I really didn't care for her, I cared for Jaxton.

"I didn't mean for any of those things to happen!" She cried, making me roll my eyes. "I admit that I was a bad mother but, if I could go back and change things, I-I-I-"

I laughed. "Oh, no." I shook my head. "You're not a bad mother, you're way worse than that and you will always live with this guilt. That you weren't the one to make him get over what happened. That you couldn't hold him when he cried , you didn't do anything. My mother did. You're not one. You are not and do not deserve to be a mother and I want you to hear it from me! It's gonna haunt you for life!"

"Dylan, that's enough!" Jaxton pulled his mother aside. "That's enough! I will not tolerate you talking to my mother that way. She is my mother at the end of the day and you will respect her, she fucking apologised."

I furrowed my brows at him. "Did you ask her where she was during those times?" I looked at her. "Where were you?"

She stayed quiet, her eyes had a flash of fear and I frowned because I caught it.

"Where were you and what were you doing?"

She swallowed. "I um—"

She was avoiding the question.

"I told you that I was gonna explain everything to you, didn't I?" Jaxton said to me, and I saw her look relieved. "I have a little sister inside and I will not have this argument in my house!" He said angrily.

"I am only but looking out for you. What did she say for you to forgive her so easily."

"Get out of my house!" Ms. Olson angrily said. "GET OUT! And do not fucking step foot in my property again."

I scoffed.

Jaxton gave me a pleading face. "Please, I'll see you at home."

"GET THE FUCK OUT!" She screamed again.

I was about to say something to her when Raven placed her hand my shoulder.

"Not worth it, let's just go." She said, our eyes not leaving the witch in front of us. "Her guilt will eat her up, it's so much better that way." She said and then looked at Jaxton. "You have a lot of explaining to do! I mean a lot!"

He didn't say anything and just looked frustrated.

"I have nothing more to say to you." I said and walked out of the house. We both marched to Raven's car and I kicked the tire angrily.

"Hey! Don't ruin what you can't afford!" She warned.

I sighed. "I'm so fucking pissed! That woman is just....I'm worried about JaxJax, how can he just-"

"Dylan, we all know how soft Jaxton is. He's not like the both of us, he's sweet and innocent and she might be taking advantage of that. We just have to help him out and make sure she doesn't hurt him again! We'll figure something out." She assured me. "I know Jaxton, he wouldn't make this drastic step without our knowledge especially concerning his mother but he did. Doesn't sound like the Jaxton I know, I guess he's grown up." She sighed. "In a stupid way." She added.

She was right about this and I knew Jaxton didn't think of this alone. This this had to do with Johnathan, he had manipulated the poor boy, he knew. I wonder what he said to have Jaxton hide this from us. "I cannot believe i fell for the same lie again," I said as I got into her car and strapped my seatbelt.

"What'd you mean?" She asked as she did the same.

"It's the same with the LGBT thing he lied to me about that made us think he was seeing Vaughn."

"And also led to our first fight." She added as she started the car.

"Yeah," I said softly, as I looked out the window.

"I just hope this doesn't turn out like the last time." She sighed dramatically. "Cause we're nothing without each other, imagine one of us making the same mistake I did." She said and looked at me, I looked at her, confused by what she meant. She just stared at me like it was obvious. "Johnathan!" She announced and i nodded. Yeah, she was right. "I actually thought he was a nice guy, but he is just a fucking evil vampire and it's not even the Edward kind or Salvatore brother's kind. He's....Dracula."

"And he's always up to no good." I sighed. "You need to be careful with him though."

Her brows knitted. "Why?"

"He's targeting you.....again."

"He's actually thinking of coming after me?" She said and chuckled afterwards. "Well then what is he waiting for? I'm gonna step on his balls so hard, he's gonna grow extra boobs."

I wanted to laugh, at least I knew I would have but I was still mad. Mad at Johnathan. Mad at Jaxton for not telling me about this. Mad that he supported her and didn't even come home with us. I was so angry.

My phone started to ring again and I grunted in anger, I picked it angrily.

"What!!" I yelled.

"Oooh, bad timing I guess?"

I sighed. "What is it, Henry?"

Raven quickly looked at me and wiggled her brows, I gave her the finger and looked out the window.

"I uh...you avoided me throughout today."

"I'm pretty sure you know the reason." I rolled my eyes.

"Yeah, I'm a douche."

I smiled a little. "That isn't argumentative."

He chuckled and just the sound of that made me feel a little better and I smiled. "You okay?"

I hesitated before answering and nodded. "Yeah, I'm good. I'm fine."

"You're a horrible liar, have I told you that?"

"Yes, you have."

"Wanna come over and talk about it?"

"No," I muttered. "I'm still mad at you."

"Well you at least let me make it up to you?"

I said nothing.

He sighed. "Please."

I wanted to say no, like I always wanted to but end up not doing so. "I-I don't know, I'm kinda in the middle of something and can't come over, sorry."

Raven glared at me instantly and quickly asked. "What the hell do you think you're doing?"

I pulled the phone away from my ear and covered it. "What? We have an emergency and I'm not gonna abandon that and go see a horny teenager."

"Yeah, right. Like that makes you a saint in this case. You're both horny teenagers who can't get their hands off each other so shut the fuck up!" I sighed. "You are not gonna weigh yourself down and skip this opportunity just because of her." She said as she drove.

"You say opportunity like it's my ticket to Harvard."

"Maybe he is." She shrugged. "Now tell him you're on your way to his house cause you need to clear your head and Henry sure knows how to make you not think about everything."

"But-"

"Now!" She ordered.

I sighed in defeat and placed the phone back to my ear. "Hey,"

"I thought you died or something."

"What? No. I- never mind." I shook my head while he chuckled. "I'm um...I'm on my way."

"Changed your mind so suddenly?"

"Want me to change it again?"

"Sorry, I'll see you in few minutes?"

"Yeah, bye." I said and hanged up.

"Now that's much better, you need to stop sacrificing your happiness boo."

"You do know Henry's not my boyfriend, right?" I cocked my brow at her.

"But he makes you happy so shut up and stop interrupting me!"

I rolled my eyes again. "Just drive."

***

"Hey," He smiled once he opened his door, I opened my mouth to reply but couldn't once I saw he was shirtless, my eyes roamed around his chest and back at his hot face.

"Why aren't you wearing a shirt?" I deadpanned.

"You don't look happy to see me." He said with a fake frown.

"You're ugly, of course I'm not happy and plus you're shirtless, too ugly." Lies.

He gasped dramatically. "Ouch!" Of course he knew I was lying cause I mean...he has a mirror.

I smiled a little. "Are you gonna invite me in or are we gonna have this conversation with you inside and me outside?"

"That...does sound cool!"

"Henry!"

He laughed. "I'm kidding, come in." He moved aside and I walked in.

"Who's home?"

"Me and you."

I turned to him. "You and I." I corrected.

"Does it really matter? As long as you understand, that's fine." He shrugged and walked over to the kitchen, I followed with a smile and sat on a stool. "What's wrong?" He asked from across.

I shrugged. "Nothing,"

He shot me a look that said 'are you still gonna try lying?'

I sighed. "It's....Jaxton. But it's nothing I can't handle." I said as I stared at him, I couldn't take my eyes off his hot muscular body. I couldn't stop asking myself how one could have such a perfect body, I mean..I know it's the gym but he is like...damn perfect! It's obvious he was created on a Sunday.

"Dylan, stop eye fucking me." He said and I flinched, quickly looking straight at his face.

"Huh? I...you are the one that decided not to wear a shirt, what'd you expect?"

He snickered. "I asked you, are you sure?" He said as he went back to roaming around in the kitchen.

I nodded. "Yeah, I've h-handle stuff like this before. He just...I don't know, I'm just worried about him."

"Talk to me."

"It's nothing really," I lied. I had been staring down at the table and soon a plate of whatever food it was, was in front of me. "What is this?"

"Food." He replied blankly and I shot him a look.

"What kind?"

"It's something my...I mean, I've been taking cooking classes and I just wanted you to taste this."

I snorted. "You are such a fucking liar, your lie is even ugly like your face."

He chuckled. "Yeah, right."

"I'm not hungry though."

"You're eating." He said and walked over to my side, he sat on the stool beside me. "It's actually pretty tasty, I promise."

"Henry, I already had something to eat." I lied. "I'm just...I have a lot on my mind, food is the last thing and I'm tired of everything and Jaxton and his stupid mother are making things hard and all I want is your bed." I said and stood up, I was about to turn and take the stairs when he grabbed my hand and pulled me towards him to stand in between his opened legs and then he caged me there. "Henry, stop." I said, our chest nearly touching but I placed my hands on his to avoid mine from hitting his.

"You obviously do have a lot on your mind and you won't tell me and so the least I could do is make you feel a little better."

"You better not try to kiss me or get me hard and abandon me like you did yesterday cause it wasn't funny."

"I thought it was," he laughed. "You looked sexually frustrated."

I scowled at him. "That's it, I'm leaving."

"No, you just got here." He chuckled and wrapped his arms around my small waist, pulling me closer the more and this time, my body was against his. "I'm sorry, I apologize." He said with a smile.

"It sounds weird when you apologize cause you never do."

He chuckled. "That's a lie, and you know it."

"Not really, it's the truth."

"Okay. Okay, stupid. Now, at least eat something at my place. You've fed me a lot at your home and now its my turn."

I just stared at him. "You make it sound cute and that makes me want to say yes," I said with a smile. "But no." I said and tried to move away but he tightened his legs and arms.

Curse this muscles.

"Nuh uh, not so fast pretty boy."

Pretty boy, I kinda like that.

"You like when I call you that, huh?" He smirked.

I blinked and frowned. "What? No. Ew,"

He chuckled. "Your cheeks say otherwise."

Shit.

Swallow me now, earth. This is the right time to do that.

"Fuck you."

He snickered. "You really look hot when you're red." He teased.

"Fuck you, Ashcroft."

He grinned. "No,  will you please eat."

I shook my head. "I'm not hungry."

"Please?"

"Nope." I shook my head again.

I liked when he said 'please'. I know I sound crazy or selfish or whatever you wanna call it but hearing him say please and be this way was really cute and it did seem like a one time thing and I was enjoying it cause I am a spoilt brat.

"Don't make me say please again." He chuckled.

I smiled. "Say it."

"You cocky pretty boy."

I smiled. "What about you? You're not eating. How do I know it's not poisoned."

"I would never poison you," he said softly and in a really cute way, it made me smile the more. "Well...not in this way cause people would suspect and so would you. So don't worry about it,"

I gave him a blank stare. "You just had to ruin it."

He laughed. "Okay, how about we both eat it and we die like that couple that got famous cause of their death?"

I arched my brow at him. "Romeo and Juliet?"

He nodded. "Yeah, them."

I giggled.

"And you get to feed me the poison this time." He smiled.

I smiled. "Okay, I'll feed you first."

"Like the water thing months ago when your mom made me look after you."

I laughed.

"You are so fucking mean, you actually thought I was gonna kill you."

"Anyone in my shoes would," I said in between laughter. "I hate you and you hate me and one of us would have killed the other."

"Hated." He corrected. "I don't hate you, pretty boy." He said and kissed my temple.

"Well...you know what I mean." I said and pushed his head backwards gently. "What'd I say about kissing?"

"Sorry," he smiled. "I really can't keep my hands to myself when you're around."

"I'm suddenly thinking of Selena Gomez right now."

"I thought you were gay and now you're thinking of a girl while we're in the mood? Nice one, Dyl."

"Shut up, doofus." I chuckled. "First, we are not in any mood. And you just said a lyric to one of her songs, I had to remember her."

"Hmm," he said and handed me the plate with food in it.

"Are you gonna tell me what you made?" I asked as I looked at it. "I've never eaten such and it looks...like a mistake."

"What?"

I laughed. "I'm sorry but it does"

"Okay, gimme that." He said and took the food back.

"I'm sorry, I had to say the truth." I laughed still.

"You just insulted my food and you haven't even tasted it."

"I don't need to."

"I'll have you eat your words back," he said and used the fork to take some and pointed it towards my mouth. "Taste this."

I shook my head. "God no."

"Dylan, open up!"

"No." I giggled and tried to get off him but he just held me tighter.

"Just one and if you hate it still, I'll give you a hundred bucks."

I paused. "Truth?"

He nodded. "And if it's that good, you'll have to kiss me." He said with taunting smirk. "Deal?"

I thought about it for a second, he sounded so confident. I looked at the food and then him and back at the food that looked depressed, it wouldn't taste as good as he says.

"Deal." I said with a smile. I did a little prayer in my head before eating from the fork and I regretted this bet thing once I started chewing. "Oh my God." I exclaimed as I chewed, it really was not as bad as I thought and he already knew that cause he was smiling.

"So?" His brows shot up.

"You asshole! I mean...sure it does look like it was a mistake but it does taste heavenly."

He just smiled and wiggled his brows. "And that means I get a kiss."

"Yeah but right after we're done eating." I said and took back the plate of food from him and began to eat. "God, this is so good."

"I barely cook and I'm glad you liked it."

"Tell me what it is!!" I whined.

"Just call it Henry's special mistake." He shrugged.

"So you're not gonna tell me."

"Nope." He said and kissed my forehead.

"You know, you kiss a lot. I've noticed it." I said before taking another spoonful.

He grinned. "Well duh, It's not my fault that your face is so soft and kissable and I just wanna kiss you continuously and also eat and swallow you."

I blinked severally at him. "That just went from cute to creepy in a less than a second. I should be scared of you."

"True, I could just be a bipolar sociopath." He said with a smile and bit his lower lip.

"Or," I pointed the fork at him. "You could just be plain stupid." I then smiled. "I like that option better."

He pouted and took the food back. "None for you."

My jaw dropped. "W-What?"

"I think you've had enough of Henry's special mistake."

"No I haven't."

"Then what do you have to do?" His brows rose.

I scowled at him. "Fine, I take it back. You're not stupid."

"Say I'm incredibly hot."

"No."

"I'll just feed this to the dog."

"You have a d-"

"Say it."

"You're incredibly hot." No lies there. "Now can I have my food back."

"Say.."

"Henry! Stop!" I whined like a child.

"Say you like me."

"I already told you I did."

He shook his head. "I wanna hear you say it again." He smiled, looking hopeful.

I sighed. "I like you, Henry motherfucking Ashcroft."

He gave me back the plate with a little smile, it was obvious he was trying not to fully smile. I took it from him with a pout and began to eat, he didn't take his eyes off me and wouldn't stop smiling. I tried to act like I didn't notice but how long was I gonna stare at this....food. "Stop staring at me, Jesus." I said and looked at him, I was starting to feel hot.

He chuckled. "Sorry, my bad. I thought we were supposed to eat together?"

True.

"Fine." I said and directed the next one towards his mouth, he opened them slowly and chewed. We ate for a while and in silence, a comfortable silence. I even asked him to get a second plate and I didn't feed him this time, we ate together and talked about random stuff and I mean TV shows.

Henry had dropped the plate in the sink while I sat on his perfect white rich-looking counter. "Oooh, so my grandmother wants to see you." I said and looked behind me to see his reaction.

He turned to me with cocked brows. "Huh?"

"I...well, she knows about you and...she just...I dunno, just wanted to see you before she goes back to space where she stays with my grandfather but...you don't have to come, seriously. I mean, there's no need to show up and I'll just make a little excuse." I shrugged. I was actually worried about the questions she was gonna throw at him and my mother who also knows about me liking Henry. God no.

"Um, okay?" He just gave me an awkward look. "So," he came closer and stood in between my legs.

"So." I mimicked him.

"About that deal." He smirked. "My kiss."

"Oh, yeah. Sorry, almost forgot."

He grinned and leaned closer, he closed his eyes and brought his lips closer and I did my job. I kissed him............on the right cheek.

His eyes snapped open and his brows knitted. "That's not where my lips are."

"Yeeeah, about that.." I pushed him backwards a little so I could come down from the counter, I moved aside and pretended to think as I took a couple steps back. "I remember you saying that I have to kiss you but you never specified where and so I kissed you on the cheek." I beamed.

"Uh, no." He shook his head.

"What no?"

"I do not accept that. You're gonna kiss me. On the lips."

I hissed. "No." I shook my head. "Sorry,"

He took a step towards me with a smile. "That wasn't the deal."

"It was the deal." I said and took one backwards.

"You cocky shit."

"I prefer smartass."

"Come here," he dashed towards me and I already knew he was gonna come running towards me and so I ran as well once I saw him move, I went into the living room and stood at the other end of the couch while he stood across. "You know you're not being fair."

I giggled. "What do you mean?" I asked innocently. "I gave you your kiss, you didn't specify where you wanted the kiss."

"Kisses are meant to be on the lips!"

"Not all." I shrugged.

He ran towards me and I ran to the other couch.

"Stop being a baby."

"Stop acting like an evil father."

"I prefer the word 'daddy'. " he smirked.

"Henry!" I scowled at him.

He grinned. "What?"

"I don't like when you-" and he was already coming after me, I screamed so loud anyone would think a nine year old girl was about to get kidnapped. I ran but only a couple steps before he grabbed my arm and while trying to shrug him off, I slipped and pulled him along with me as I fell.

We both laughed.

"What the hell was that sound?" He asked while he laid on top of me, still laughing.

I giggled. "You startled me! I wasn't expecting you to come running after me that way. I mean I did but not at that moment."

He chuckled. "You sounded like Zoila when she watches those soap operas and someone mistakenly dies."

"People mistakenly die in soap operas?" I asked, furrowing my brows.

"I guess so." He chuckled.

"I forgot that I was running away from a guy that ran ten laps and was fucking fine."

"And that's your mistake," he grinned. "Now, give me my kiss or I'll have to take it by force."

"I already fucking kissed you. Get off. How do we always end up in this position?" I had to just ask. "Almost every time."

He chuckled. "I have no idea but it's sexy."

"Shit head."

He chuckled. "Whatever. Now, kiss me."

"No."

"Dylan, you're not being fair."

"And you're being a baby right now, I swear I don't understand you sometimes. You're such a big baby most of the times and then you're a jerk and I don't even know if I'm gonna have t-" he kissed me and my words went back down my throat. My eyes widen and I wanted to scream but I didn't and I let him kiss me.

He pulled away before I could kiss him back and smiled. "You talk a lot." He said and was about to get off me but I grabbed his arm and pulled him back down on me.

"If I talk again, will you kiss me?"

He chuckled, showing those perfect teeth again, I smiled as he shook his head. "You're crazy." He said and placed his lips on mine, I kissed him back this time and wrapped my arms around him. I made him roll over and dominated him, laying on top of him, we both laughed in between kisses and I could tell he was getting hard because i felt his pants began to tighten and truthfully, so did mine.

"If you leave me hanging I'll kill you." I breathed.

He smiled deviously. "I wouldn't dare." He replied and brought his lips back against mine.

"Fuck, I want you now." I muttered and began undoing his belt, I really didn't mind giving him a blowjob right here, right now, at this moment.

He pulled away and cocked his heavenly brow at me. "Are you...?"

"It's just a blowjob, Ashcroft." I said as I pulled out his belt, tossing it aside. "I'm sure you've had about a thousand already."

He chuckled. "But you'll be the first boy to...you know? And I'm not sure you've seen a d-"

"I've seen a dick before, mister." I huffed.

"Not m-"

"Yeah he has, mister. Just let him do it." A feminine voice interrupted, making me scream and move away from Henry. I found myself sitting beside him with wide eyes staring back at Zoila who had a big grin fixed on her face.

"Zoila!" Henry yelled surprisingly as he sat up.

"What? I've watched porn before," she shrugged. "I just haven't seen two boys do it live." She smiled. "Don't mind me, pretend I'm not here." She gleefully said.

"Shit," I muttered and looked away, I was boiling.

"Zoila! Get out!" Henry yelled at her but she wasn't moved by how mad he seemed.

"What? I'm not the one who said you guys shouldn't do it up in your room. I just came to-"

"Zoila!" His voice became icy, filled with warning.

She sighed. "Alright, alright." She rolled her eyes. "I shouldn't have said anything but you both were taking long." She whined.

I covered my face in embarrassment. "Kill me now,"

She grinned and walked away. I let out a small sigh and looked at Henry with a scowl. "You didn't lock the door?"

"I thought I did."

"Are. You. Fucking kidding me?"

"Oh and," we both looked back at the spot Zoila was a second ago and there she was again, smiling. "I have to say, I'm glad you both are together now. You are so cute together, I mean I can already imagine the babies you both are gonna have and I'm gonna be called-"

"Zoila." Henry called, stopping her. "I'll kill Stevie if you don't disappear right now."

She gasped and gave him the middle finger before disappearing again.

"Stevie?" I asked him.

"Her cat."

I stood up and glared at him. "You know, you're fucking annoying. I can't believe Zoila almost walked in on me giving you head."

"Yeah," he said and then snickered.

"It's not funny," I gave him the middle finger.

"Oh come on," he chuckled.

"Okay, I'm leaving." I said and began walking towards the door, I heard him stand and soon hands were wrapped around my waist.

"I was kidding, sorry. I'll try to be serious." He said and kissed my neck.

I turned to him with folded arms and he was pouting like a child. He was cute.

"I hate you." I said softly.

"I like you," he said and kissed my cheek, hands wrapped around me. "Pretty boy." He added and kissed me, I kissed him back and I felt him asking for permission and I opened my mouth for him to stick his tongue in and wrestle mine for a while. I was getting hard again, his hands went from my waist to my butt and he cupped them and squeezed, I moaned in between his lips and ran a hand through his hair while the other roamed around his bare chest. I was getting hard the more and there really wasn't a free space in my jeans no more.

"I left my ph- oh!"

We stopped, he turned and I looked behind him to see Zoila. "I just wanna pick my phone, I didn't see anything." She said with a grin.

"Zoila!!" Henry growled.

She rushed and picked up her phone and ran back upstairs immediately. Henry groaned in frustration and that made me want to laugh, he placed his head on my shoulder and sighed. "I hate her so much," he muttered and I laughed.

"She's something, isn't she?"

"You have no idea. Fucking little cock blocker."

I giggled. "Now you know how it feels," I said and placed my hand on his head, stroking his hair.

He groaned really loud on my shoulder and looked at me. "I have an emergency." He muttered.

"Well fix it."

"Are you gonna help me f-"

"No. Don't even ask."

He let out an annoyed sound and cursed Zoila continuously, I begged him to stop while laughing.

He sighed and pulled away. "I'm gonna go fix my problem." He said and walked away with a frown. The way he said it so freely was a little weird and funny, I think my cheeks heated as I watched him go.

"Crazy," I muttered with a smile. I picked my phone from Henry's kitchen counter as I sat on a stool and began calling Jaxton's phone to know how he was but he didn't answer, I frowned and called his number again but no answer and soon it said line busy making me wonder why he was answering.

***

It was past eight when I got home, I had stayed over at Henry's for a couple more hours and Henry wanted to make out again but I made him read with me in his room and later on we played mortal combat on his PlayStation. I had tried calling Jaxton severally and when his phone began to say switched off, I knew I had to leave and go home.

I walked to my grandfather who was smoking in the living room. "Hi, papa." I kissed his cheek and took the cigarette away from his lips before he could reply.

"You little devil!"

"I love you too," I said as I walked out of the living room and spotted grandma Athena coming my way. "Hi, immortal grandmother." I kissed her cheek, she chuckled.

"Hello, peter pan." She grinned. "Is the Henry boy coming?"

I hissed. "No, he has urgent family matters and can't come over sadly."

"Oh, that's sad. Well, another time."

I nodded. "Yeah," I said and wrapped my arms around her from behind as we made our way to the dinning where mom was, texting on her cellphone. "Hello mother."

She looked up from her phone and smiled at me. "Hey, sweetie. How was school?"

I nodded. "Good, exams going okay." I said and made my way towards her, I kissed her cheek with a smile. "How's the baby?"

"Becoming heavier." She complained.

I grinned. "Good, few months left."

She groaned.

I chuckled. "Where's dad?"

"Work. Coming home late today."

"Jaxton?"

"Not home." Mom yawned. "Don't you know where he is?"

The door suddenly opened and I went to check and saw Jaxton walking in, I left them at the dinning and made my way towards Jaxton. "What the fuck, Jaxton?"

"Let's talk ups-"

"Not to sound like a nagging mother, but why weren't you answering your phone? I actually thought you'd be home already and you weren't and I got worried as fuck, and then you turned off your phone and I should have minded my business, but it's you, Jaxton, and I would go to fucking high lengths for you. What the fuck, Jax?" I asked angrily in a whisper.

"I-I was spending time with my mom, okay? I was gonna call you back."

"So you really were avoiding my calls?"

"I was. I'm sorry, but you wouldn't stop calling and I...I had to turn it off." He shrugged.

"Maybe if you had just answered the goddamn phone, I wouldn't have called severally."

He sighed. "Dylan, I'm tired. I'll explain it all to you if you wanna listen, but just don't.....don't create drama now please." He said and walked past me.

I-

I huffed and turned to him. "I'm creating drama? So because I was worried about my friend, I'm creating drama? Let's not forget that you were the one who went to see that woman and didn't let anyone know and have been seeing her for God knows how long and lying to my fucking face about it!"

"That woman is my mother." His tone increased as he turned and glared at me.

"Yeah, and how many times has she done her role as your mother? Or does ditching you and leaving town count as motherly love? Because from where i come from, it's called abandonment."

Jaxton scoffed.

"I get that she's your mother, but not telling us about you meeting her was risky! Why didn't you fucking tell me?"

"Cause I knew you'd react this way?"

"Oh and hiding it was so much better because Jaxton Olson is fucking smart."

"Don't!" He warned.

"What's going on?" Mom asked as she and Grandma Athena came into view.

"Why don't we ask Jaxton?" I said and flashed him a smile. "He's been seeing his mother and lying to us about it."

"Jaxton," mom called softly. "Is that true?"

He sighed. "Yes, okay. She's my mother and I c-can't abandon her and my sister. She needs me and Dylan here is making it a serious matter when its not!"

"No one fucking asked you to abandon her!" Now my tone increased cause i was getting pissed and he wasn't even understanding my point. "You didn't fucking abandon her! She abandoned you! She was invited here, not once but twice to make things better and she didn't turn up at all and suddenly you're the one in her house instead of it being the other way around! Think for heavens sake! Your mother is a manipulating bitch and you are doing exactly what she wants!"

"Enough!" He scolded, glaring at me. "That's enough. You've said enough! You know, he was right." He scoffed.

He?

"You are one selfish being, you only think about yourself and what's going to benefit you and i didn't even know until he pointed it out. You can't even be happy for me that I reunited with my mother and here you are acting like I did something illegal! You only think about yourself!"

"Jaxton, you know that's not true." Mom said.

"I'm supposed to be happy for you?" I chuckled. "I'm supposed to be happy that my best friend is seeing a woman who never for once showed love towards him and didn't even try to! I'm suddenly selfish? Wow, I thought you were smart enough to not listen to Johnathan or take his advice but I guess you are stupid after all. Jesus, Jaxton! Really? After everything Johnathan has done, you still decided to take his advice?"

"What was I supposed to do when he was right? Sometimes even that devil gives the smartest advice."

"Oh, wow."

"It's now I realize that all you do is try to control my life!" I frowned. "You've done nothing but help me when it only gives you something in return, he opened my eyes to see everything." He laughed. "I am really stupid. You keep trying to control me and I didn't even know that yet but it's like that's all you've done. You always tell me what to do! Jaxton don't do this! Jaxton go out with Dominic. Jaxton don't go that way. Jaxton do this. Jaxton do that and I always fucking do it! My life doesn't revolve around you, Dylan! You make it seem like it does!"

"Guys, that's enough okay." Mom said as she approached us.

I swallowed. "I am only looking after you, Jaxton."

"I have a life and you don't decide what decisions I make! If I want to see my mother then I will and you won't even stop me because you can't! You don't have any right over my life and it's not my fault that you literally have no friends and you're trying to pull me down because you think one day I'll leave. You do not care about my emotions, how sad I was thinking about my mom and why she hated me. About my sister. It was all you! So leave me alone and let me enjoy this fucking moment."

I said nothing.

"Jaxton, that's enough." Grandpa Felix said.

"Who do you even think you are?" He huffed "You want it all to be better for you but wouldn't wish the same for me? You have a perfect family and a healthy one. You have a mother that loves you and did you once ask yourself if I wanted that too? No right? Cause you can't."

"Jaxton, she treated you like her child. The fuck are you on about? I never complained or was jealous about that."

"Cause you got to keep me in this house! I can't believe that I actually thought you were helping me. You call my mother manipulative when you're the manipulative one here."

"Jaxton! Stop!" Mom said.

"No, let him finish." I said to mom. "You're listening to a Johnathan now, huh?" I chuckled. "Classic Jaxton. Search through the nine kingdoms to look for someone to give you a bit of hope or applause in supporting your insecure self or an idea you had that you know was terrible."

"I'm so sorry bonnie but someone has to tell him the truth. You lie too. All the fucking time, and when I do it it's wrong but when you do it, there's no problem there? Really? You don't value our friendship. Stop trying to tell me what to do and actually listen to me and try to help me but you wouldn't even think about that would you? You're a fucking asshole and that's the fucking truth. You keep calling Johnathan the bad guy but maybe he's not," he shrugged. "Maybe you are because you're just as bad as him and no matter how you try to deny it, it's the fucking truth and you know it. He told me about some things you did in your previous school and here you claim to be a saint huh? Fuck this! You should be happy that your best friend is happy but you're clearly not."

"Wow," I laughed and looked at him. "I don't give a fuck about you, you say? Fine. I'll show you how much I don't give two fucks about your pathetic life." I said and walked up the stairs, I ignored mom's calls. I was boiling with anger, I was mad. This had Johnathan all over it, hell he sounded like a Smith's victim but I was mad at Jaxton for spiting out those words and falling for Johnathan's trap.

I walked into Jaxton's room and took out his luggage, I took out every clothes of his from the wardrobe and every stuff around that belonged to him, I pushed them all into his luggage angrily. I didn't waste a lot of time in doing so and later on, I walked down the stairs with his bag.

Mom frowned at me. "Dylan, what do you think you're doing?"

"Dylan!" Grandma Athena looked as shocked as everyone.

I was furious, all I wanted to do was protect him, to protect him from the world, to protect him because I never could protect Isaac, I never could and I lost him and all I ever did was to keep him safe, I didn't want them to push him to his breaking point, that was all I had ever done. To make him forget his past and be happy with his present but I guess I was wrong, I never should have.

I walked towards Jaxton and threw his luggage right in front of him, he looked at it in disbelief and back at me. "I don't care you say? Then what are you even doing here? My mother showed you excess love and people in my shoes would get jealous at a point but I didn't cause I thought you were my brother! I didn't care about your situation? About you crying for a mother and yet I convinced my parents to let you in so you can have another family that actually does love you and not pity love you. I have a perfect family? Jaxton, there's no such thing as that! My life is not perfect! My family is not perfect but we don't scream our problems out or take advises from devil in disguise. How does you living here actually benefit me? Tell me! Do you pay my bills? Did we ask you to contribute to anything? Did I ask you to carry my backpack and walk behind me to school and keep your head down? Did I send you on random errands like a slave? So please do tell me how it fucking benefits me, sir Lancelot. I didn't need to fucking ask myself if you needed what I had because you had it too! I gave it to you and took nothing. Nothing from you. But you just want to be a fucking bitch of the devil, huh?"

"Dylan! You're taking this too far." Mom said from behind me.

"No!" I yelled. "I fucking broke my arm for you! I almost got fucking killed because of you, by your psychotic six'five foot forty year old Russian boyfriend, but I'm the selfish one for getting thrown around a house while trying to save my friend? Or which part exactly? Having your back in school every-time someone wanted to drag your ass down? I have done nothing but support your ungrateful fucking ass, and I'm suddenly the bad guy because Johnathan gave you candy??" I shook my head.

"You wanna go to the woman who abandoned you? Who didn't even care about you almost being raped? Who the police called and she still didn't show up? The same woman who never came here when invited to prove her worth? You wanna go to her?" I smiled. "Then go, Jaxton. By all means, get the fuck out of my house and go live miserably like you've been doing with her! Go to Johnathan and suck his dick, because it seems like you prefer hell fire cock, you two faced fungus."

I took another step towards him. "Don't come crying to me when she proves me right, Jaxton. Like you allllways do. I will not be that shoulder to cry on anymore! Never."

"Dylan, y-you're just angry!" Grandma Athena said. "Lets talk about this calmly, children."

"Yes I am angry and I don't give a fuck like Jaxton said." I said, not taking my eyes off him. "I'm evil right? I'm the spawn of Lucifer, huh? I'm the replica of Johnathan, I'm just as bad as he is, isn't that what you said?" I smiled. "Fine. Thank you very much for your wonderful compliments, dear best friend but you should know something, I'm an awful human being and you've said it all and so, you see this thing we have, this stupid friendship thing we have that doesn't mean anything to you at all! That makes you change your mind about your best friend once a demon tells you shit, this thing here isn't going nowhere. From today boy, we're not friends cause I cannot deal with your shit."

"Dylan!" Mom called but I ignored her.

"Let us act like we never knew each other from today, and keep my name out your dirty mouth when you open it to speak to people. You've crossed so many lines with me, Jaxton. You think because everybody thinks you're sweet, that I would a hundred percent buy into that? Delusional. I am evil and pathetic, right? You wanna know something? You're just as bad as I am, Jaxton, and deep down, you know you are just as rotten. At least I don't hide that part of myself like you do. I admit that I lie about things but you're the first person. All I have ever done is try to protect you because you don't deserve anything bad. And what did i get?" I sneered.

"I'm sorry that I became friends with you and ruined your life. I'm sorry that I keep looking out for you and worry about something bad happening to you that you might not recover from. I'm sorry that I take our friendship really serious, Jaxton Olson. It ends now and you're a free bird, so please do get the fuck out of my house now cause your very existence is making me sick at this very moment and I hope you enjoy your mother and son time at home fully this time. Oh, maybe you both can finally sit and watch the desperate fucking housewives together." I snarled.

"Dylan, wait." Mom said.

"No. No. He's right. You're right. Your life doesn't revolve around me and neither does mine around you. So, Jaxton, get out." I said coldly. He looked shocked and kept swallowing the lump in his throat, his eyes never left mine and neither did mine. I showed no emotion, built up my walls and he saw nothing while his eyes were red already and I knew he was trying not to cry now.

"Dylan! That's enough." Mom said and walked into my middle. "Jaxton isn't going nowhere, you guys are going through the shit best friends go through. They fight and that's how it is or it'd be no fun, you guys have to laugh about it in the future. Jaxton isn't leaving."

Jax shook his head. "A friend wouldn't do this."

I nodded. "You are right. A friend wouldn't. Good thing I submitted my resignation letter, right?"

Jaxton gulped, looking sad. But I didn't care. I just folded my arms. 

"Pick up your bag." I told him.

"No. We not doing this. Jaxton, take your bag and go upstairs. This is my house, I decide who leaves so go back upstairs and Dylan, let's have this conversation when we are all not fired up." Mom said.

"It's fine, Bonnie." He said and picked up his luggage. "I think I overstayed my welcome."

"That's not true." Mom said and gave him a soft look. "I told you, you can stay for as long as you want."

"I'll..I'll leave. He wants me out of his house."

I nodded. "I'm glad you understand."

"Dylan, stop it!" Mom yelled.

"When his fucking bitchy mother told Raven and I to get out, he said nothing or did nothing and I do not want anyone interfering and so I want him gone like that bitch said! You my dear friend, you are a fucking two faced, two timing, desperate, good for nothing opportunist'l

My cheek instantly stung and moved swiftly to the right, I felt a sharp pain and my eyes widen once I realized my mother had slapped me.

"I said that is enough, I will not tolerate this! You don't say such things to him. Jaxton is not going anywhere."

I didn't move, I stood still.

She slapped me.

"Bonnie!" Grandma called out. "What were you thinking! You didn't have to hit him." She said and I felt her hand on my shoulder.

"What is wrong with you?"

My anger increased, I could feel this familiar fire inside my body, threatening to be spilled out of my mouth. I was mad. I was angry. I turned to Jaxton who's eyes were wide, my breathing increased as I looked at him. "Get out."

"Dylan, I said-"

"I heard what you said," I glared at her. "I invited him in and I'm sending him out myself."

She froze once her eyes met mine, I looked away from her and at Jaxton. "Do not make me repeat myself, Jaxton." I said as I took a step towards him. "It might get bad if I have to."

Jaxton gulped and sighed as he picked up his luggage again. "Thank you for having me." He said to my mom and grandma, and walked out of the house.

"Dylan," Mom called softly. "You-"

"You hit me, because I defended myself." I said and looked at her angrily. "What kind of a mother are you?." I said and went up the stairs and to my room.

Once I closed the door behind me, I just stood in silence. There was a lot of things going on in my head, and I wanted to scream or throw something, but I just let it all happen in my head as I stared at nothing.

This felt familiar.

My phone vibrated, I took it out of my back pocket and checked the text  I had gotten from an unknown number.

"One Chapter Closed."

He was after me...
